Micah Richards has admitted that he is open to reuniting with former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan this summer.

The 26-year-old has spent the season on loan from City at Serie A side Fiorentina, but a permanent move doesn't appear to be on the cards.

Richards made just nine starts in 17 appearances following his arrival in August last year, and while the right-back is open to returning to England, he has not ruled out a switch to Inter.

"The Premier League is fantastic, but I had my best season at City under Roberto Mancini and obviously he's at Inter Milan now, so maybe that could be an option," Richards told the Daily Mail. "I think he definitely got the best out of me."

Richards won the English title under Mancini in 2012.
